Below is a program to upload a file from local file system to a remote Apache server.
The program ends with a 409 conflict error. Is there any advice what am I doing wrong? I turned DAV on in httpd.conf and gave all necessary permissions, but I still had no luck. I can post the httpd.conf should it be needed.
This is the code:
BOUNDARY = "AaB03xZZZZZZ11322321111XSDW"
uri = URI.parse("http://localhost/dropbox/")
file = "/tmp/KEYS.txt"
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
request = Net::HTTP::Put.new(uri.request_uri)
request.body_stream=File.open(file)
request["Content-Type"] = "multipart/form-data"
request.add_field('Content-Length', File.size(file))
request.add_field('session', BOUNDARY)
response=http.request(request)
puts "Request Headers: #{request.to_hash.inspect}"
puts "Sending PUT #{uri.request_uri} to #{uri.host}:#{uri.port}"
puts "Response #{response.code} #{response.message}"
puts "#{response.body}"
puts "Headers: #{response.to_hash.inspect}"
And its output:
Request Headers: {"accept"=>["*/*"], "host"=>["localhost"], "content-length"=>[88873], "content-type"=>["multipart/form-data"], "session"=>["AaB03xZZZZZZ11322321111XSDW"], "connection"=>["close"]}
Sending PUT /dropbox/ to localhost:80

The problem was resolved when I changed line 5 to this:
request = Net::HTTP::Put.new("#{uri.request_uri}/test.file")
The error "cannot PUT to a collection" means, an upload cannot be done against a folder. A file name must be specified.
